Is this thread about a "go to kite" or who's got the biggest kite collection ?

Denny

Well Denny, if you have to ask. You might want to take up fishing. It is not about the most kites, but some starting talking about their A bags. Flying for over twenty years will lead to a large collection of kites generally.

My goto is probably my Deep Space. I also keep my Nirvana UL with me because it's got a nice range and can still trick in lower wind. The Rev 1 vented is my high wind kite. (I love my Widowmaker but it's almost too easy to fly. Go figure.)

I've been flying since '97 but for years it was only a Prism Flashlight and Ion and I never really learned much. Dennis Smith taught me how to do a half axel and got me started with tricking.

Wind condition: okay conditions at mostly a nearby community activity field where they have soccer, football and baseball. When the forecast is 8 mph from SW or SE I try to make to Liberty State Park when the wind is off the ocean through the Verazzano Narrows. That won't last long because my company us re-locating us north of Albany to Saratoga county in July.

Very interesting so far...Not as many people say thier "Goto" kite is one of the well known high $$ Euros. No TNT's, K2's, and only a couple Nirvanas, talons and DS. Lots have them in thier bags obviously. Lots of Skyburner fans out there as expected, but would have thought with all the hype, people would put thier Nirvanas up first. Lets hear more opinions and gotos...

1) Talons. UL/STD2) Inland wind, close to mountains - ever variable. (but moving to the west coast in 4 weeks! woot)3) dual liners since summer '10.Style - modern trickin with a healthy side order of the basics. - glued-to-the-sky snaps stalls, monster tip stabs at full speed from the top of the window, wow me more than most modern tricks.
